In 2003, Cabot Creamery asked Jasper Hill Farm to age a special batch of English-style clothbound cheddar. This was the beginning of a revolutionary partnership. Cabot Clothbound is a handsome natural-rinded traditional cheddar. Bandaged with muslin and skillfully aged a minimum of 10 months at the Cellars at Jasper Hill. Cabot Clothbound has all the characteristic texture of an English-style cheddar with the sweet caramel and milky flavors that sets it apart from other bandaged cheddars. The flavor profile is at once sweet, savory, nutty, and tangy.

Cabot Creamery was one of the first family farm cooperatives in Vermont, and today they are widely known for making exceptional American-style block Cheddar. Kempton Family Farm in Peacham, VT has been selected as the sole source for Clothbound, and Cabot crafts this cheese the old-world way - one vat at a time.

Once unmolded from their shaping hoops, the infant wheels are individually wrapped with muslin and brushed with lard before they undergo a ten to fourteen month maturation period. The extra care involved in curing a clothbound cheese requires a customized aging environment, with proper temperature, humidity, and airflow. The cheddar vaults at the Cellars at Jasper Hill are majestic and awe-inspiring - Cabot Clothbound is truly a monumental undertaking. A team of affineurs practice a constant cycle of care for Clothbound and the 34 pound wheels are tested, tasted, and monitored for quality during their entire life cycle. .

I loved Cabot cheese so much that I save it for special occasions and savor the taste.

Cabot always good

I've enjoyed Cabot brand when available from the local stores, but this is my first purchase of the scrumptious clothbound. It has a smooth texture, a smoky taste. It reminds me of the cheese my mother made on the farm in hoops with the cheesecloth surrounding it. Lots of fond memories there.

Clothbound cheddar

The cheese is amazing as we knew it would be. Our only problem is the price of shipping which understandably doubled the purchase price, but we would purchase again even with that minus.
